Rihanna's fans are furious at a rich Apple exec who apparently shouted her down at a basketball game

The INSIDER Summary:

Rihanna and Apple executive Eddy Cue were at an NBA Finals game last night.

Cue appeared to tell Rihanna to "sit down" during the game.

Her fans are furious at the way he appeared to treat her.

Cue maintains that he was trying to communicate with someone a few seats away from Rihanna.

The Golden State Warriors defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday night, and some high-profile fans were in attendance — among them Rihanna, the singer and LeBron James supporter, and Eddy Cue, the top Apple exec and known Warriors superfan.

Rihanna put on a show throughout the game, bowing to James and waving to Warriors fans who heckled her back.

But one moment from the game has led to outrage from Rihanna's fans on Twitter: After Rihanna bowed, Cue appeared to say something and made a "sit down" gesture to someone nearby.
